Our Founder's story

Still Human Convict Clothing was born inside prison—not from excuses, but from accountability, reflection, and purpose.

After the worst decisions of his life, our founder learned firsthand how the correctional system strips people of dignity and humanity. While taking full responsibility for his actions, he made a promise: if even one life could be positively impacted during his incarceration, then the his time wouldn’t be for nothing.

Inside, he saw what most never do—people who wanted to change but felt completely hopeless. Men shaped by loss, abuse, addiction, and survival, trapped in a system that punishes without truly rehabilitating. Many are talented artists, thinkers, and human beings whose voices are never seen or heard.

Still Human Convict Clothing exists to change that.

We commission artwork from incarcerated and formerly incarcerated artists, paying them for their work and providing a percentage of every piece sold to the artists. Proceeds also fund real reentry support—clothing, IDs, transportation, job readiness, technology help, housing connections, and human guidance—because without access and support, people are set up to fail.

This isn’t about glorifying crime.
It’s about accountability, redemption, and second chances.
It’s about giving a hand up, not a handout  

It’s about restoring voice and purpose to people the world has written off—those made invisible behind concrete walls and steel bars. It’s about reminding them, and everyone else, that they are still human, still worthy, and still capable of meaning, growth, and contribution.

What’s been most powerful to witness is that this feeling is shared by nearly every inmate involved—including those who know they will never go home. For many of them, this is the first time in decades they’ve been invited to contribute to something good, something that reaches beyond the walls. It gives purpose where there was once only time to serve. This is rehabilitation in its truest form—not punishment for punishment’s sake, but the restoration of dignity, responsibility, and hope. Even for those who will never be released, being able to work toward something positive reminds them that their lives still have value and that they can still be part of something that helps others.

We believe people are more than their worst mistake.
We believe dignity changes lives.
We believe hope reduces recidivism.
We believe everyone deserves the chance to be seen as still human.
